20 High Top Vans Outfits and More Casual Sneaker Ideas
Looking for high top vans outfits that go beyond jeans and a tee? Think checked dresses, loose cargos and a little pop of yellow.
These pictures include high-top looks plus low-tops, slip-ons and a couple of Converse pairs, so there’s a mix of sneaker ideas to borrow.
You can keep things simple or add a few extra layers. Start with your favorite black-and-white sneakers, then try one of these clothing combinations with the pair you already own.
Casual sneaker outfits worth saving
black tank and cropped jeans
We’re starting off strong with this cute black tank and light-blue jeans combo. I love how the cropped hems leave the black high-tops on show.
Try a small pendant necklace like the one here if you want a little extra detail without adding another color.
checked mini and black top
How cute is this checked skirt? The black long-sleeve crop top keeps the rest simple, with gray socks showing above black Converse high-tops.

This picture uses Converse rather than Vans. Swap in your own high-top Vans if you want to borrow the skirt-and-sneakers combination.
gray sweatshirt and tan bag
If you are looking for something simple to put together, this one is for you. A gray sweatshirt sits over a longer white top, paired with black ripped jeans and black high-tops.
The tan quilted bag may just be my favorite part. It’s a pretty addition to all that gray and black.
graphic hoodie and blue jacket
I love the large face graphic on this gray hoodie. It peeks through the open light-blue jacket, with loose dark pants and black sneakers below.

Keep the hood outside your jacket if you want to try the same layered look.
pink checks and high-tops
Who says you have to stick to jeans? This pink checked dress looks so pretty with black high-tops and a small black bag.
I love the loose skirt and the oversized square sunglasses. You don’t need much else with that all-over pattern.
green cargos and sleeveless black
The green and black pairing is so good in this outfit. A sleeveless black top sits above loose cargo pants, with black-and-white sneakers peeking out underneath.
If you want your shoes to show more, try turning up the hems a little. That would be a variation on the longer pants shown here.
open plaid shirt
Don’t want to go all out with accessories? No problem! Try a dark plaid shirt over a white cropped top and black leggings.
The shoes here are black Converse high-tops with white toe caps. Your high-top Vans would be another option for this same outfit.
tiny checks and a black cap
I am obsessed with these checked pants. The cropped legs show off the black high-tops so well, while the black cap adds another cute detail.
Keep your top mostly black like this one if you want the little checks to be the main pattern.
graphic tee and cuffed jeans
This is one of my favorite layered looks on the list. I love the white sleeves under the black graphic tee, plus that strip of red at the hem.

The cuffed blue jeans show off black low-top Vans. Add a black beanie if you want to follow the full outfit.
white shirt and frayed shorts
How cute is this white shirt with the frayed blue shorts? The rolled sleeves and partial tuck keep it casual, with white socks above black high-tops.
Finish yours with a dark crossbody bag if you like the simple accessories shown here.
plaid peeking below a sweatshirt
That little plaid hem is such a good detail. It shows beneath a dark sweatshirt, paired with ripped light-blue jeans and black low-top sneakers.

Try a longer checked shirt under your own sweatshirt to borrow the look. Round sunglasses would be a cute finishing touch.
checkerboard shoes and pale green
If you love mixing patterns, then this one is for you. The brown-and-cream patterned sweater goes with pale green cropped pants and checkerboard high-tops.
I especially love the rust-colored beanie. There’s plenty going on here without adding a necklace or a printed bag.
yellow tote and cuffed blue jeans
Give your black sweater and jeans a little color with a yellow tote. The yellow details on the socks are so cute beside it.
The sneakers here are low-tops, with the jeans rolled above the ankles. Keep those socks visible if you want to follow this combination.
wide-leg jeans and a cropped tee
If you’re looking for an outfit without lots of layers, go with this fitted black crop top and wide-leg blue jeans. The long hems fall over the sneakers, leaving the white laces and soles showing.
I’d keep the little necklace and bracelets just like this.
pendant necklace and black high-tops
This is the same black tank and cropped-jeans outfit shown at the start, appearing again in the selection. The closer crop makes those white laces and thick white soles especially noticeable.
If you’re borrowing one detail, let your jeans finish above the tops of your sneakers.
striped sleeves and overalls
I love this striped long-sleeve top under the light-blue overalls. The little ripped patches and rolled hems look so cute with the black low-top Vans.
Don’t forget a black beanie if you want to recreate the whole combination.
white pleats and checkerboard
Want a skirt outfit without the checked mini? Try this white pleated skirt with a loose black sweatshirt.
The shoes in this picture are checkerboard slip-ons, not high-tops. I love the pattern here, though black high-top Vans would be a different way to wear the same clothes.
black jacket and ripped knees
This black jacket may just be a favorite. The diagonal zip and shiny finish look so good over a plain white top.
Pair yours with ripped blue jeans and black sneakers to follow this outfit. The rolled hems leave a little ankle showing above the low-tops.
green beanie and striped pants
If you are looking for a layered outfit with a little color, then this one is for you. The green beanie stands out above a gray hoodie and an open blue jacket.
I love the white side stripes on the black pants. The striped socks keep that detail going right down to the low-top Vans.
olive jacket and burgundy sneakers
Last but definitely not least, we have this olive jacket with a cream V-neck sweater and cropped blue jeans. The burgundy low-top sneakers are such a pretty change from black.

I love the pale pink crossbody bag with them. Try keeping both colors if you want to borrow this outfit rather than switching everything back to black and white.
